had lived here the past four months con-

MIR. Lerton came to the village yester-
day morning and reported that Miss Jones
had died suddenly, and he wanted a
coroner To hold an inquest. There being
none at hand nearer than Athens, Mr. j.
II. Hight was summoned, and after con-

After the examination of the premises,
